Good evening!
I have finally gotten around to visit my classmates’ project sites. The project sites in particular that I will be commenting on are MSU Texas and 1960’s Fashion in Southwest Virginia. Both of these websites were very well done.
I really enjoyed how MSU Texas’ project site was organized aesthetically and categorically. The stark white background with black lining makes for a very clear and concise website. It emphasizes the content in which they choose to show in their blog posts. For example, their first project blog post included a very colorful and 90’s picture. By the background being very simple, it allowed the picture in the post to POP!
In the project site for fashion in the 1960’s from Southwest Virginia, it is very different from MSU Texas’ theme, yet it still works very well for the content and theme. The background includes a very sixties pattern, and the header showcases a girl from the sixties against a very stylized background. Both of these images from their site explores the popularity of patterns and totally embodies the busyness of the sixties culture. Well done!
I also thoroughly enjoyed each of the project pages’ use of subcategories and different sections. Though, there is not any content yet, I find this to be very useful to navigate.
Great job, classmates!
I love the meme. Thank you so much 🙂
I am glad that you liked my site! I am hoping to play up the difference between the stereotypical 60s styles of the header and background images with the simpler, more realistic styles worn by my interviewees.
Carley: Thanks for the clear comments. I agree that these websites are definitely interesting. I think the images invite discussion and encourage people to look more closely at the website’s content. Dr. Brown
